"@pjcigars Another great Timeless from Nat Sherman"

The Nat Sherman Timeless 2019 TAA is a full-bodied cigar that is handmade at the Quesada Cigars factory in the Dominican Republic. It’s a Dominican puro from its filler to its dark, oily maduro wrapper. It is a limited-edition cigar that is made exclusively for members of the Tobacconists’ Association of America (TAA). The Nat Sherman Timeless 2019 TAA has a peppery, woodsy, and earthy flavor profile.

Cigar Origin

Dominican Republic

Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.The Dominican Republic is the world's first producer of cigars. Most factories are located in Santiago, in the center of the island, and in close proximity to the tobacco fields grown in the fertile Cibao Valley. While tobacco and cigars have always traditionally been produced in the Dominican Republic, many Cuban cigar makers established in the Dominican Republic after the Cuban communist revolution, elevating the quality of Dominican cigars.

Wrapper Color

Maduro

Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.Maduro wrapper can go from dark coffee brown with a reddish tint to blackish brown (the latter also called Oscuro).

Wrapper

Dominican

The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.The main tobacco region in the Dominican Republic is the Cibao valley in the northern part of the island. In the 60s, Cuban seeds were brought here by exiled Cuban cigar makers and found that they grew exceptional cigar tobacco, called Piloto Cubano. The native Dominican tobacco, called Olor, is milder than Piloto Cubano yet more aromatic. The first company to grow Dominican tobacco for cigar wrapper was Tabacalera Arturo Fuente in 1995.

Binder

Dominican Republic

The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together. Dominican Republic is a traditional tobacco-growing country. In the 60's, a Cuban seed was introduced and the resulting tobacco, called Piloto Cubano, became famous as a good substitute of the Cuban tobacco that was no longer allowed to enter the USA. Piloto Cubano is full bodied while the Dominican Olor tobacco is milder but more aromatic.

Filler

Dominican Republic

Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.

Wow, this Nat Sherman Timeless TAA 2019, is an awesome smoke. Right from the beginning I knew I was going to enjoy the cigar. The draw is great and the construction of the cigar is perfect. I smoked it to the first ring without the ash falling. I've purchased three (3) boxes thus far. I'm storing one in my vault for next year. It's a must have cigar.

Beautiful cigar, inside and out. Very flavorful with a lot of body but not strong or harsh. It burns well with an excellent draw. The flavor profile changes nicely and it smokes well right down to the end. It does taste like your typical maduro cigar but the wrapper offers a nice balance to the cigar.
